For just $10.00 This brooch came to me without anything in the middle! Sometimes, when one buys large containers of jewelry at the Oakland Museum White Elephant Sale, there is unexpectedly interesting stuff: one earring, brooches without their former centers, unstrung necklaces, etc. When these pieces are "upcycled", they get a new life. After shining up the metal, I chose a Roman matron's face and placed it behind a glass cabochon so it is magnified and looking right at you. That is the fun or recycling new pieces with old - you never know what you will come up with! Repurposing old jewelry is environmentally responsible as one is effectively recycling materials.
